Please!
For all of you bikers/cyclers out there, PLEASE wear your helmet, whether you are just going for a quick, casual spin or working out. I just found out my friend (who lived in Finland) was killed while casually riding his bike around town (was out on a quick errand). He rode all of the time, too. He was only 37. Please. It…

This can't be right, can it?
Today I received my new Polar FT4 HRM. Excited to go workout, I input my info and away I went. I did the usual elliptical routine- the fat burning program which is basically intervals- and REALLY pushed myself, imagining my HRM counting all the calories I was burning. I figured my number would be somewhere between the…

Spinners: Wrist question
I've started taking spin and the one area I didn't think that would bother me is my wrists. I know you aren't supposed to lean too much, keep wrists straight, etc. but my wrists still really hurt! I can't seem to find any info online (except keep your wrists straight). Do the gloves I see some people wearing help with any…

General Crock Pot Question
I love all of your recipes for the crockpot and have one at home (that never gets used!). I want to try some of the recipes, but most of them say cook for 6-8 hours. I tend to be away from home for 12 hours a day and my pot isn't fancy (no timer or anything). Could I keep it on low for the whole 12 hours? I noticed a lot…

What's YOUR workout song
I have a couple of songs I flip to when I'm tired or lagging in my cardio to boost me and push me through. Does anyone else have these "special" songs they use for motivation?

First spin class
I'm taking my first ever spin class on Saturday. I got one of those "gel" seats so that my lady parts will function again (LOL). My trainer said once I was up to 30-45 min of elliptical, to jump into spin. I took an intro to spin class (was about 15-20 mins) that showed you how to seat up your seat, hand positions, and got…

Good scale?
I've been weighing myself at the gym on a "doctor's" scale once a week (I don't want to go crazy and weigh myself every day) because my electronic one at home is about 10 yrs old and not very reliable. I don't care about the number, just want to have something to compare so I can accurately tell how many lbs I'm losing (my…
